Maris Rock is to Trichy, what Devi is to Chennai, what Devi is to Hyderabad/Secunderabad, what Lido is to Bangalore, what Thangam (does it still exist?) or Cinipriya is to Madurai, what Santham Sapna & Santhosh are to Salem - most of these theaters have screened MGR/Kamal/Rajini blockbusters!
the theater am talking abt was in suburban Tirunelveli - very sleepy area - therefore 3rd day morning show houseful is special.
I recall watching AS in Kasi A/C (the A/C rarely worked) in Jafferkhanpet, Chennai, after 100 days completion and yet had to do advance booking!
AS was marana popular plus critically acclaimed - families went in droves, i heard a man (in his 70s!) telling his wife "andha kadasi scenela, avaru (Kamal) sirichikkittey, aanaa kannula andha valiyum ugrathhayum yennamaa kaamchaaru" ! that was poora paisa vasool for me that someone appreciated such nuances!
there used to be one Vijaya theater close to Kasi, where I watched 'Guru' (i was just out of toddlerhood) - was fond of horses (still am) and was adamant to go with other ppl in their 20s for the Kamal horse scene (IR did an ennio morricone with the whistle tune on a mrudangam base!) 'yen per sigappu roja' had the theater roaring in applause! theater was beyond houseful on a weekend after 100 days, and we were given dondanakka plastic chairs in between the aisles!
mannichhukkunga sir! avasarathhula enter aavula - SG is now added - kosuru: vellai roja was amali dhumali hit (we were in salem then).
theaters like thangam came to mind coz of its capacity (largest am told) that apparently screened 100 houseful days of adimai penn, anbey vaa etc!
Did anyone note the number of times Kamal's name is mentioned in Shankar's I?
I heard at least three such references....
1) Amy Jackson to Vikram - "Indhiyan Kamal maadhiri nadandhu kaattu", followed by Vikram walking in Kamal's style (Director considers this too filmy and rejects)
2) Vikram to Amy - "Idhu Kamal sir maadhiri kiss illa, kannaththula dhaan"
...and the best one is:-
Santhanam to Vikram - "Kamal fans Blood donate panranga, Vijay fans Arisi donate panranga..." Sooperabbu!!

Kamal clarifies on 'Marudhanayagam' and 'Vaamamargam'
'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan recently took to his personal YouTube account to reveal information on his 'Marudhanayagam' and 'Vaamamargam' projects. After there were reports and news flying around stating that both these projects are the same, Kamal decided to give a proper explanation regarding the matter.
Kamal addressed the question whether 'Marudhanayagam' and 'Vaamamargam' stories are same or different by saying he can't say anything at the moment now. He also stated if he never got to tell the story of 'Marudhanayagam', he would present it to us in his own style.
He quoted a conversation between him and PC Sreeram where PC said, "People know who Gandhi and Nehru are. But, how many people know about 'Marudhanayagam'? Will this work?" For which, Kamal responded by saying, "People may not be knowing who 'Marudhanayagam' is now. However, I have firm belief that everyone will come to know about 'Marudhanayagam' before the movie's release or after the movie gets released."
He then went on to speak about 'Vaamamargam' saying it was a story very dear to him. When asked about the title not being a Tamil title, he said, "The time has come for us to go international and that the film is going to be in world standards. He also said, "When you have a Tamil story which has a universal appeal, then you have to go with an appropriate title."
He then went on to say, "If you're going to make a film about Robert Clive or Shakespeare, then it is mandatory that you have to go with their names as the title rather than looking for a Tamil title."
In his final statement, Kamal stated that production work is progressing at a brisk pace and that work will commence soon for both 'Marudhanayagam' and Vaamamargam'.

MUSIC DIRECTOR G V PRAKASH KUMAR INTERVIEW
You are one of the very few composers who have worked with Rajini, Vijay, Ajith and Vikram. How has the journey been so far? The list will be complete if we add one more name to it (Kamal).
I am truly blessed to have worked with Ajith sir, that too in my second film at the age of 20 and also with Rajini sir for my 5th film and then later with Vijay sir for Thalaivaa. It is like a dream come true. I am also honored to have been associated with, one of my favorite film makers, Anurag Kashyap for Gangs Of Wasseypur Part 1 &2 and now for Ugly. I am striving hard to work with Kamal sir; I am just yearning to work with him and if given a chance I will grab it with both hands.
One Kamal sir movie you would like to remake?
Kamal sir is a legend and I don’t see any actor, who could do justice to his roles. All his movies are cult classics and it would be an achievement of sorts if you could manage to do even half of what he has done.
